Not So Bizarre New Headline Of The Day

Walmart Recalls Donkey Meat In China Because It Contained Fox

This brings up many questions.

Why is Walmart selling DONKEY meat at all?

Why do people who eat DONKEY meat care that it has fox in it?

Why do I think eating fox is so much better than eating donkey?

Donkey meat is a popular snack? May I introduce you people to the potato chip??

This is FIVE SPICE Donkey meat. What are the five spices? Are they a variation on KFC'S 11 herbs and spices? And what does spiced donkey meat taste like? (If it tastes like popcorn chicken or Original Recipe then I am in.)

Is there anything that Walmart won't sell. If they could legally sell babies or body parts, would they?

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's largest retailer, has recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals, the U.S. company said.

Wal-Mart will reimburse customers who bought the tainted "Five Spice" donkey meat and is helping local food and industry agencies in eastern Shandong province investigate its Chinese supplier, it said late on Wednesday in official posts on China's Twitter-like Weibo. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat.

Donkey meat is a popular snack in some areas of China, although it only accounts for a tiny fraction of overall meat consumption. In 2011 China slaughtered 2.4 million donkeys, according to country's livestock industry yearbook.

Wal-Mart was also fined that year in China for selling duck meat past its expiry date.
